Thor Sørheim: 'Spor i sand'

 


Tracks in sand

 

It can be that simple, I walk

in wet sand which the waves wash over

and the tracks disappear while I have moved

to another place. The sea moves cities,

major powers and epochs, we leave our tracks

which are erased. But innermost in the bay stands

a herd of cows from extraordinary times, yellow

in the evening light, and view me with calm gazes.

 

(After ‘Die gelbe Kuh’ by Franz Marc)
